NEED PEACE?

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to

you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and

do not be afraid. (John 14:27)

If there is one thing in this world that can rob you of the peace

that Jesus means for you to have, it’s finances! However,

restoration of that peace can be helped tremendously by

learning how to handle your finances biblically. After all, God

is the source of all we have, so why not look to him for how to

manage the resources he has entrusted to us. Did you know that 89% of the people in a typical American

congregation don’t have a financial safety net? Shocked? I

was too. But there’s HOPE through

FPU! Through life-changing videos,

online tools, and resources, and

group accountability, our church

members will learn how to create

and stick to a budget, save for

emergencies, pay off debt, and

plan for the future. Just imagine the

impact we could have on the

community if we were all debt-free!

Marriages and families would be

strengthened. People would be freed up to be outrageously

generous. This kind of hope will ignite change in our entire

community! Toward that end…

We are offering Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University

(FPU) class this fall as a way for us all to grow in our lives as

Christian disciples. This 9-week class will provide information
